New York City Climbing Collective

Curious about climbing outside around NYC? Join NY3C for a free community mini-clinic and climb session at Rat Rock in Central Park.

This mini-clinic is meant for anyone interested in learning more about outdoor climbing in the NYC metro area—whether you’re completely new to climbing outside, transitioning from gym climbing, or just looking to meet other climbers in the community.

Volunteers from NY3C will happily help out new climbers at the event.

The outdoors should be for everyone, but not everyone has the access to the knowledge and education around it. We are hosting these mini-clinics to help bridge the gap to make the outdoors more accessible.

Packing for a backpacking trip can make or break your time outside. What you bring, how you pack it, and where things go in your pack all matter when you are miles down the trail.

Join NY3C for a mini-clinic on how to pack for backpacking. We will cover what to bring, how to organize your pack, and common mistakes that make trips harder than they need to be.
Volunteers from NY3C will happily help out new climbers at the event.

The outdoors should be for everyone, but not everyone has access to the knowledge and education around it. Our mini-clinics are designed to help bridge that gap and make the outdoors more accessible.

Mini-Clinics are free to attend. If you would like to stay and climb afterward, discounted day passes and gear (shoes and harness) are available for $15.

If cost is a barrier to participation, please DM us and we are happy to assist.
